3. From The NY Post’s article:

“A nearby pizza-truck owner grabbed the portion of the ailing young woman’s left leg that had been severed below the knee in the 11:19 a.m. horror and put it in a bucket. He then ran around collecting ice from street vendors near the scene at Sixth Avenue and 49th Street to throw on top of it.”

4. A plumber near the scene of the crash used his belt for a tourniquet on the woman’s right leg.
